Subject: [PATCH v2 00/10] spi-nor: intel-spi: Various fixes and enhancements

This series does several bug fixes and clean ups against the intel-spi
spi-nor driver, as well as enhancements to make the driver independent
on the underlying BIOS/bootloader.

At present the driver uses the HW sequencer for the read/write/erase on
all supported platforms, read_reg/write_reg for BXT, and the SW sequencer
for read_reg/write_reg for BYT/LPT. The way the driver uses the HW and SW
sequencer relies on some programmed register settings and hence creates
unneeded dependencies with the underlying BIOS/bootloader. For example,
the driver unfortunately does not work as expected when booting from
Intel Baytrail FSP based bootloaders like U-Boot, as the Baytrail FSP
does not set up some SPI controller settings to make the driver happy.
Now such limitation has been removed with this series.

Changes in v2:
- Add stable kernel tags in the commit message (patch [03/10])
- Fix typo of 'operatoin' (patch [10/10])
- Add Mika Westerberg's 'Acked-by' tag

Bin Meng (10):
  spi-nor: intel-spi: Fix number of protected range registers for
    BYT/LPT
  spi-nor: intel-spi: Remove useless 'buf' parameter in the HW/SW cycle
  spi-nor: intel-spi: Fix broken software sequencing codes
  spi-nor: intel-spi: Check transfer length in the HW/SW cycle
  spi-nor: intel-spi: Use SW sequencer for BYT/LPT
  spi-nor: intel-spi: Remove 'Atomic Cycle Sequence' in
    intel_spi_write()
  spi-nor: intel-spi: Don't assume OPMENU0/1 to be programmed by BIOS
  spi-nor: intel-spi: Remove the unnecessary HSFSTS register RW
  spi-nor: intel-spi: Rename swseq to swseq_reg in 'struct intel_spi'
  spi-nor: intel-spi: Fall back to use SW sequencer to erase
